Friday, 21st: After work I went to a nice little German restaurant called Edelweiss with some friends from work. The food was AMAZING. Trust me on that one. I ordered what was apparently the German food Noah’s Ark. (2 portions of every animal) If I had even a 10% chance of spelling the food correctly I would write it down but I don’t. Basically envision taking the delicious part of an animal, dipping it in delicious, and covering some of them with a mushroom delicious sauce.
Saturday, 22nd: Ran some errands and basically started getting back into WoW. (No I haven’t abandoned you all for WoW, it is just a coincidence. Promise)
Sunday, 23rd: Watched my Bears suffer a terrible loss at the hands of the Cowboys. *sigh* Injury after injury. Turnover after Turnover. It wasn’t pretty.
Monday 24th - Friday 28th: Work and work and work and work and work and work and sleep. Work and work and work and work and work and work and sleep. And If I see a pretty girl, I’d probably ask her to move out of the way so I could go to sleep. (if you don’t know the song then this probably doesn’t make much sense to you, but shame on you for not knowing the song)
Saturday 29th: Tried to drop some clothes off to be pressed but couldn’t find a place that was open. Got together with a friend I haven’t seen in a while and we caught up a bit.
Sunday 30th: Watching my Bears score a much-needed victory with Griese at the helm.
Well, good morning all. I hope you all slept well. No? Well, I’m sorry. Try some camomile tea next time.
So I do believe one of the questions posed to me was: “What is your deepest, darkest fantasies? Either sexual or otherwise.”
I am sure many of you know this type of individual, the kind who works multiple jobs to support the family unit. At that point they typically react to this situation one of two ways. They can resent being ‘forced’ to support the family or they can view it as a neccesity. While I am sure they would much rather just work a single job but I’m here to tell them - I would trade it all to have the opportunity to go work two minimum wage jobs in order to struggle to try and find 10 minutes to spend with my wife and children. I would give up any of my so-called freedoms; the freedom to go where I want, when I want. If I want to spend money on something I can. Sure I’ve got my own money issues, but I have the freedom to choose if I spend it on something or not. I am not dictated by being responsible for another life. I honestly believe that there is nothing I can do in the many hours I have available to me each week that would provide me with even a fraction of the fulfillment I would get from having that 10 minutes.
So there you have it. A family man trapped inside a tragic story. My fantasy is not to never have experienced what happened, but to still manage to get to the ending that particular book was supposed to provide. Like a Choose-Your-Own-Adventure book that I picked the wrong page, but because I didn’t take my fingers off the original page, it didn’t count right? Right! I’ll pick the other option now. Ah. Well Damn. Option 1 was Death. That didn’t work out. Option 2 was loneliness and becoming massively introverted and withdrawn. I suppose that taught me some valuable lessons so it was worth it. Ah-Ha! I know, I will just go back (didn’t take my finger off the original page) and start looking down the road to option 3. Haven’t turned that page yet so I don’t know what it will be. Should be an interesting journey. Care to come along?
Notice a lack of big graphical ads? I listened to all of you and removed them all. I am keeping the Google AdSense ads because, on the whole they aren’t too terribly annoying, right?
Had some things which have just been kicking my butt recently and I am unaccustomed to answering for not posting.
It’s a good feeling, so don’t stop!
I realize I have a couple of unanswered questions and a couple of bullet points I have yet to answer/post. Those will be coming within the week. I pwomise.
In addition to my textual postings. Hmm, I like the way that sounds. I am, afterall, a very textual being. Anywho. Anyone care to suggest a short topic for me to discuss in my next slog? I really could just read some news stories and give my takes, but if you have any requests, I would be happy to possibly think about maybe considering them. And please, no karaoke.
Again, sorry for the delay and thanks for hanging in there.
Please suffer through both and let me know which volume I need to continue publishing in or if neither one fits the bill.
Normal Volume version:
Amplified Volume version:
edit: Upon further review, it would seem they both sound very similar. I will have to research increasing the volume. Seems to work find via speakers, but shite via headphones.
edit to the edit: k, got them both to play fine via speakers or headsets. If you are having problems hearing them, you will need to adjust your headphones volume.
